Rashes On Thighs, Hives. Using Phisoderm Soap, Bacitracin, Reduced, Patches Of Cold Sores On Arm, Hand, Thumb, Fingers. Treatment?
I m not sure how to word my question. I m a 42 yr old reasonably healthy male but lately I ve noticed some odd things. I recently had a rash on both of my thighs that seemed to be something like hives . That went away after I started using Phisoderm soap and bacitracin. Now have what appears to be patches of cold soars on my right arm, hand, thumb and finger . Is this possibly a string of symptoms for something more serious?
